Default faulty windows

Anyone have problems with their windows? Mine, when I try to get them to go up all the way, go about half way and stop. Also they don't go down that 1/4 inch they are famous for half the time. I took it to the audi dealership, and they said they fixed the problem, but its doing it still..... AAHHH

The owner's manual describes a procedure for resetting the windows

Same. Have the unique "Auto up then halfway down" feature.

Default It's the anti-piinch feature in the window electronics detecting what it thinks is...

...an obstruction to the window closing. Most likely something in the window regulator or tracks is binding up. I've had it happen a few times, and re-programming the window regulator via the prescribed procedure cures it.....

Default Same here. Only right side. Re-setting doesn't work. ...

Only 10% of the time it goes up all the way. Service said maybe it stucks somewhere.But ,I don't think it stucks b/c if I hold the switch intermittently it goes up all the way . Also , the window needs quiet strong force to stop and come down ( put your hand for example ) So, end of the story : Now , I am used to live with it. By the end of the warranty I'll go to the service and have it made ( hope so ! ), I don't want the door panel to be taken out now .

Default i had that problem .. the thing corrected itself (or else i accidentally corrected it)

btw, that was on the driver side where i have an obvious problem i haven't had corrected yet. the window is tilted very slightly at the back, resulting in a gap between the window and the rubber sealer. it makes for a very wind-noisy ride !
